Child and youth travel is more than just a vacation - it is an investment in future generations. Every child should be given the chance to live out their own interests outside of school, gain interpersonal experience with their peers and grow through new challenges. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with its unique natural spaces, tourist infrastructure and varied educational offers, provides the ideal conditions for children and young people to have unforgettable experiences.
Therefore, it must be ensured that every child has the opportunity to take part in a vacation camp or group trip, regardless of financial or social circumstances. There are various
financial aids for families:These include the education and participation package (BuT), which supports low-income families and provides grants for leisure activities, vacation camps or school trips. The
Landesförderung für Familienerholung can also provide financial relief for families who usually stay in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
In addition, scholarship programs offered by individual sponsors can provide additional support by enabling children and young people with special social or financial challenges to take part in vacation camps or educational trips. Community organizations and foundations are also involved in this area and award grants or funding for trips for children and young people. Parents can find out about other funding options from the respective organizers, youth ministries or advice centres and receive support with the application process.
